I can't upload 3.18.0 because it FTBFS as follows:

~~~~
/usr/bin/g-ir-compiler  --includedir=. -o GitgExt-1.0.typelib GitgExt-1.0.gir 
Could not find GIR file 'Gitg-1.0.gir'; check XDG_DATA_DIRS or use --
includedir 
error parsing file GitgExt-1.0.gir: Failed to parse included gir Gitg-1.0

No, my _assessment_ of 3.x hasn't change. Gitg-3 starts very slow and still 
suffers from UI and functionality regressions:

I tested 3.17.1 for a little while and I just could not use it.

Sorry but I do not share your irrational fancy for modern interface that 
limit your ability to do certain things that can be done with old version of 
Gitg.
